Temple University Top Questions

The most frustrating things about my school are the financial aid and housing. I do not believe the school provides enough financial aid and the students have to look toward other outlets to find money to pay for school. It is very stressful to students who are trying to focus on academics while they have a financial burden for college funding. Another thing about my school is the housing. The school does not off any housing after sophomore year, and after freshman year, sophomore housing is not guaranteed to any students, so they have to look for off campus housing.

The most frustrating experience at my University is that the Bureaucracy of Temple is so great it can sometimes hinder actual help to students. Many times I was turned away and simple questions were not able to be answered. I believe that if Temple had less of a Bureaucracy, or had more people working for them that actually cared about the students, then more students would be able to get the help they need. I have learned that a hundred uncaring people are never as useful as one caring person who takes the time to understand a student?s needs.

Sometimes paperwork tends to get lost as it goes through the different administration departments. It got so bad for me this past year that I had to miss the fall semester. Aside from that, the only really frustrating thing are the aging elevators in a couple buildings that act like they're possessed.

Campus is rather small after a while.

Someone who wants a close nit environment. A person who is not looking for a diverse population.

The internet security is intense - I feel like I am prompted to enter my password all the time.

Having to find off campus housing after sophmore year. You are only allowed to stay on campus for your first 2 years then you must find off campus housing. The school provides you with a list of nearby housing but the hassel of trying to find something in your budget range was frustrating.

In my perspective, I would have to say that financial aid can be frustrating at a certain point. When you believe you have enough for the semester, but turns out that you are short of money and not sure where you are going to get the money.

I am on a satellite campus of Temple University, so there is often a lt less to do around here, especially on the weekends.

Are school is in the hard ghetto of North Philadelphia and everyone is getting robbed all of the time. I've been robbed three times this year, twice at gunpoint and one breaking and entering.
